I have been using this for 2 months having previously used several other heart rate monitors including the higher end Sunnto T6 and thoroughly recommend it as a simple, easy to use heart rate monitor.

One of the most important factors in picking up this over other products was the comfort of the belt/strap. This new Suunto Dual strap is the the most comfortable i have worn, many other reviews seem to suggest similar and I often forget I still have it on!

The buttons and fascia are large and are very clear and easy to use even whilst running or at the gym which is a huge bonus.

In order to get more accurate Calorie counts you have to initially input some personal settings: your weight, level of fitness, Maximum Heart Rate (usually 220 minus your age) and standing Heart rate (you will discover this with time.) It is also important to remember to update them as necessary.

What features does it have?- Displays your current heart Rate- Total Time run- Average Heart Rate- max Heart Rate- Calorie Count- Which training Zone you are in eg: Zone 3 is 80%-90% of your maximum (this is useful for pacing yourself)- after training it will tell you how long and what percentage of your training was in each zone, which i find invaluable for measuring the intensity of a workout as well as calorie counts etc.- Totals for last 4 weeks of training and a total since you last reset the counter.Read more ›

hey folks, never bothered with this review malarky before but as noone had done one for this before i thought i should!

wow...what a nice bit of kit!

just started running as i got a bit soft around the edges and knowing a bit about fitness generally i knew that the best way to burn the most fat off was to train in cardio zone one(for those of you who dont know what it means just google it)

works perfectly....been using it for a couple of weeks and couldnt be happier with it...the belt is comfortable and the watch is brilliant

didnt need a watch that planned my runs for me, as i knew what i wanted to do and when i was going to do it.....if you need that go for the m4 which is only 20 quid more than this one

looks good and isnt a great big chunk of a thing on your wrist like some of the monitors out there

overall i would reccomend this to anyone, who was, like me a bit of a newcomer to the field and was looking for something simple, and not over complicated to get going with

I required a simple basic heart rate monitor, this model is perfect for my needs. Both batteries are easily replaced and the transmitter strap is very comfortable even on my 54 inch chest.

I only required heart rate monitoring, this unit does it with total reliability. The watch is strapped to my bike handlebars with a piece of grey foam pipe insulation in between, the large digital display is easy to read without relaxing my grip.

I have not attempted to use all the functions, I just don't need them.

Packaging and delivery from Amazon was of the usual First Class.

UPDATE: January 2015

Monitor failed, unit totally dead. tried changing batteries, no response. Tried using both units with friend's system - my transmitter is ok but the monitor is dead.

Unit out of guarantee so I'll now look for a replacement, the Timex ones look quite good and are considerably cheaper.

Very easy to use and set up - great for the price and looks so much nicer than most of the black manly monitors. My only issue is the warranty / support from Suunto - there isn't any! I emailed them as my battery died after 3 months (which I thought was quite poor)and after 7 months I havent heard back from them. But in all a great product.

I have very small wrists, and i have this watch on the 3rd hole. It is very comfortable. It works well swimming, cycling or running. I just wish i bought a fancier one!I seem to have over stretched the chest strap, i have a 32 inch chest and had it almost on the tightest setting. It still works, but a replacement is £50 and you wouldn't want to get that second hand!

Have used this watch on a daily basis for the past month and it works great, does exactly what it says on the box, the chest strap does not bother me at all in fact it is very comfortable, great product and great delivery service.
